Bell is doing well
« on: December 16, 2008, 02:30:14 pm »
Bell's surgery went as well as anyone could have hoped.  The doctor believes that they removed all of the tumor and cancerous region of intestine.  She will be coming home on Thursday. 

It has been a very hectic couple of days. I have been meanning to get on and post everyone on Bell. But Payton has developed a very bad cough which they thought was RSV but is now a very bad case of Croup. She was rushed to the doctor today due to her wheezing and gasping for air. 

If it isnt one thing it is everything else.  But at least everything so far with Bell has gone very well.  They will have her start chemo on next Monday. Thank you everyone for thinking and praying for our family and Bell.  We still have a long ways to go but hopfully it is on the right track. ;)

I am so glad to hear the good news. I know you must be exhausted with both being sick. I hope you can catch your breath tomorrow and get ready for the homecoming.

Sorry I couldnt post as much this morning as I wanted to Payton was in my lap insisting on trying to type with Mommy.

Well I called Hubby this morning and Bell is doing great!! she is up and walking around. NO jumping around even though he said that she really wants to when he goes in to see her.  Her cathater comes out today. Disgusting I know.  Her sutures are healing well and she is eating.  

She also had a bowel movement yesterday which means everything is working properly.  Thanks everyone for being there for our family.  It is hard to talk to ours. they dont quite understand why we are doing all this for a dog even though she is part of the family.

I'm glad you found this. I didn't know how to find old posts once they fell off the bottom. I've been thinking about Bell, too.
